Nat-ure and -bjects of the I uwen-tion. y The n'rst part of my invention relates to the combination of pins andcleats, in suoli a manner that the corn shall be scattered when it falls upon the pins, thus eiiectually 'L J ONATHAN W. ORUME,

ground in a bunch, the object of this part of my inf vention being to`` scatter the corn and keep it apart until deposited in the ground. v

The second part of my invention relates to the combination 'of a toothed wheel, crank, and bar, ,in

rain-box and revent the feed-hole from clogging up with grain, the object of ber of grains which passes out of the grain-box, and to prevent the clogging of `the feed-hole.

` General Description..

A. are five pins, which are fastened securelyto one falls into the compartments, and, when .the top of the machine is closed, the blades are opened, and the corn is deposited in the ground to`the full width of the blades.

O isa. toothed wheel.

D is a crank upon the end of the shaft, upon which the wheel O is fastened.

E is a b'ar attached to the crank 1),:iud fastened to -the opposite side oi' the machine. When the machine is opened at the tor; the bar E- aud crank D cause the wheel C to revolve, which moves the grain o i from thefeed-bar, and allows oniy the number of grains necessary tofiil the hoie through the feed-bar to 'pass out of the grain-box.

The partial revolution of the wheel C back and forth, at the bott-om of' the grain-box, every time the machineis opened and closed, prevent-s clogging.

I C'Iaims.

-1. The combination of the pins A and cleats l5 B, substautialiy as and for the purpose hereinbci'ore set forth. 4

2. The combination of the wheel C', crank l), and bar E, substantially as and for the purpose hereinoefore set forth.
